Great video. My favorite part is the announcement at the end of the trip. I'll paraphrase but the guy goes: "Hey guys, thanks a lot for putting up with our delay today, I appreciate your attitude and understanding. You are cool!" 😂🤣😂
Good to see a Ouigo video. As you say it's a no frills high speed train. SNCF modelled Ouigo after the business plan of budget airlines (like EZY and Ryanair). Ouigo TGV is aimed at those who might take a budget airline. A newer Ouigo Classique caters for those who might car share of take a long distance coach.
7:00 This is not the river Isère (as claimed by your subtitle), but the river Rhône, seen from the large bridge with the characteristic fence shortly before entering the station Avignon TGV. At this point of the travel, the Isère has already joined the Rhône near Valence (about 100 km after Lyon St. Exupéry).
@@TheGeordieTravels Never mind. Although I have been there for nearly 20 times on vacation, I had to look it up on a map to be sure. For instance, I am also not sure which rivers flow through Lyon. Is it Rhone, Saone or Isere? I guess it is Saone entering Rhone, whereas Isere joins Rhone later in Valence. There are lots of rivers there.
May I ask which side of the train I should sit when leaving Paris? I noticed that at the start of your trip, you're on the left side but how did you get views of the coast and the sea (which should be on the right side, correct?) Please advise, I'm getting conflicting information online. I want to book a seat but want the sea views.
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. For this journey to get views of the sea sit on the right hand side. The train emptied at St Raphael-Valescure so i moved and manged to get a seat on the right.
Hi mate, thanks for watching. Unfortunately not as there his np train station in St Tropez - the closest station is St Raphael where you can get a coach from I think.

Hi mate, thanks for watching and the translation - brilliant. My French is ok but more touristy, if that makes sense

Wow, that really was a good price. Some stunning scenery too. I wonder if we will ever get double decker trains here in the U.K🤣
